Under his vision, POSTELEGANT clinched the Tokyo Fashion Award  in 2019, all while championing regional craftsmanship and understated elegance.

"Postelegant is a brand I hold close to my heart. Yuya, its creator, is a true visionary in the fashion world of Japan. I had the delightful opportunity to discover this brand at the very beginning of Nimette.

I remember stepping into Yuya's cozy showroom, a charming workshop where my eyes were immediately drawn to a stunning red coat tucked away in the back—what we now affectionately call the power coat, which we proudly featured on the Nimette website.

And indeed, it’s a brand that embodies chic, elegance, and that quintessential Parisian flair we adore."
